Hi hurshy :)

Done

I filled the middle row minus three squares in the centre... Then?

I wish all hards were that easy

yep, that was pretty breezy for a hard

I swear, the last few weeks of ratings've been assigned at random ...

nice one!

easy one

easy

Easiest. Hard. EVAR.

(If I didn't have to green ANYTHING, you know it was easy!)

hi Twin C :)

niiice...

I"d like to know too. People talk about red and green and I have no idea what they mean. Also 'triples and doubles'. Sorry I can't help.

itzie, you still here?

Yes

check out the "help" link, above

and read the bit on "advanced game mechanics"

understand about "greening" now?

Yeah, I understand. Thanks!

I've just been doing it by hand on a peice of paper. :)

there's also a javascript that'll help you out by filling in all the greens for you

So you can put more than one green number in a box?

oh yes

Neat. yes you can, I see.

That's SO much easier than what I've been doing.

Thank you!

here... paste this into the URL field in your browser...

javascript:for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value == '') {ClearTinySquares(i,j);}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value != '') {var tmp_value = grid[i][j].value;for (k=1; k<=9; k++) {for (l=1; l<=9; l++) {if (grid[k][l].value == '') {if ((Math.ceil(i/3) == Math.ceil(k/3) && Math.ceil(j/3) == Math.ceil(l/3)) || i == k || j == l) {grid[k][l]['mini'][tmp_value] = -1;}}}}}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) { for (j=1; j<=9; j++) { if (grid[i][j].value == '') { for (k=1; k<=9; k++) { if (grid[i][j]['mini'][k] != -1) grid[i][j]['mini'][k] = 1; }}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value == '') {for (k=1; k<=9; k++) {if (grid[i][j]['mini'][k] != 1) grid[i][j]['mini'][k] = 0;}}}}PopulatePuzzle(grid);void(0);

paste the whole thong anr press enter

Oh that's interesting. It unfortunately removed everything I had already entered too!

yes, that is a downside

sorry

That's okay. I have it all written down anyway.

but it should be a help

hello- i was reading "moedog' and u said paste the java script in the url part of browser? that is wild- but where do u find it when u want to use it again- do u have it saved in a file? that is so neat - great help

lol nm

tiggs, I just cut and pasted the script into a word document. The other way is to save it as a bookmarklet (if you use Firefix)

aw, coochie coochie coo, who's a darling itty bitty bookmarklet

hmmm wonder why that repeated.

if you zacksidentally hit enter again...

too hard since I haven't been taught how to eliminate all the green possibilities. I need another easy one, please!

franebrown.. did you ever check out this website? http://www.scanraid.com/BasicStrategies.htm

franebrown.... if you like, there is www.websudoku.com, billions of puzzles, whenever you like, any level you like

HI!

evenin evryone. trying 188 - harrrd one

done!

how is the today's ? i needed to make a guess

and i;m still not done ;)

I thought today's was pretty easy!

me too!

serious ? any advanced triples or quads there ?

I don't know what advanced triples or quads are.

i've got the mid section row pretty much - except the center block - but the rest is scattered

and i can't find the key puzzle

I've been working on puzzle 130 from July 18 for days. I just can't get that one!

i think im gonna start over

Funny, I just started July 18

Are you having problems with it Diane?

Don't know yet - just stared, literally - about 5 min ago.

HA done the today's . got it. :)

What are advanced triples and quads??

it's like hidden pair, but it's the three cells.. i guess

there are more like these.. some guy recommended me a tutorial but it was too dificult for me ;)

bzikofski, I pasted the javascript from your profile into my address bar and hit enter, but nothing happened. Why?

bye

Stephanie - are you using IE, or Firefox? I don't think the script works (without some tweaking) in IE.

go
